The Committee reviewed the goals and determined that we are making headway in most areas.
Discussion of the goal of advocating for including program-level learning outcomes in the
Curriculum Committee’s approval process led to Cindy inviting Kate to attend a Curriculum
Committee meeting. No other mid-course corrections were identified as necessary.
The Committee critiqued the draft submitted by Kate for responding to assessment related
questions in the Systems Portfolio. Suggestions were made.

process
The Committee decided to:
 Have calibration/training sessions where we all use the rubric on the same one or two
reports. Tweak the rubric afterward, as needed. (2 sessions so all can attend.)
 Look at last 2 years of reports for each program.
 Assign each program to a 2-member team of Committee members – one member from
same division as program.
 2-member teams will do the initial evaluations (using rubric) on their own then report
back to Committee.
